LOW VOLUME, High-Mix PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING
High-Grade Aluminum tooling
Economical option FOR LIMITED QUANTITY PARTS
In 1984, we structured our manufacturing operations to specialize in complex low (to high) volume plastic injection molding, and it remains the core of our business — delivering with the same precision and price advantages of a high-volume production mold.
Our Low-Volume-Production (LVP) molding program offers the latest in injection-molding equipment, beginning with our prototype injection molding lab, which uses the latest in electric injection molding machines with closed-loop processing, and automated material handling systems.
PTI capabilities also allow for higher volume production runs.
ADVANTAGES OF LOW VOLUME PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING
- Mold cost
Low volume molds are generally cut from a high-quality grade of aluminum, which is easier to machine and modify than hardened steel.
- new product launches
Requires only a modest investment, which enables the product to get to market quicker. Also, limits monetary loss if a product is not successful in the marketplace.
- technology
Low Volume tools may be more feasible if you anticipate a short product life.
- low volume requirement
Many times, only a few thousand parts are needed to meet the needs of the entire production run.

Mold Design
Mold Design is a crucial step in the injection molding process. Once you’ve finalized your part in CAD software for fit and function, it must then be transformed into a design for molding to ensure the capture of all the specified details. In some cases, certain features of the part design may not be manufacturable via the injection molding process.
At PTI, we collaborate with you to achieve the best possible design for manufacturability. In fact, we have a FREE guide to help you with this.
